    Journalist: hi Johnny, are you sure you were born after 1949 in the Republic of Ireland?
    Sexton: Yes, why the effin Peyper do you ask?
    Journalist: Because your family told me you were born in ire.

    I dunno. Not the biggest sample size admittedly but over 20 years on here with you blokes has been an education. 😀

    Would that be along the lines of “not smarter, just better informed”?

    Perhaps more informed would be more accurate

    @Catogrande I take it back, you've learnt nothing, make your statement and stand by it, right or wrong, that is the way.

    I wouldn’t pay to read it but I’d definitely have a flick through if it was at a bookstore or on someone coffee table.

    Not even the bargain bucket at the bookstore in month?

    Any more than 99 cents and I’d be saying no

    You know that you can read what dickheads have to say for free on the internet right?

    Well, you must do you're here, so save your 99c.

    Interesting points. But let’s be clear:

    He was no Carter snd Carter had zero track record of being an absolute fluffybunny. Carter also had no need to put any crap like this in his book in order to sell it ..

    Laughable how they say it’s riled up the kiwis just before the bloke goes on about why he’s riled up about it …

    @MajorRage do they mention the moment after the whistle, which they make a point is important where it is clear Sexton says something to Ioane which would appear to have prompted Ioanes barb?

    @taniwharugby only in passing.

    To be fair, I do get where they are coming from and the point is valid.

    Sexton doesn’t seem to have many sticking up for him in most comments I’ve read. Which I think says a lot.

    @MajorRage oh absolutely, which makes you think there was more water under the bridge to have that much ill-feeling to give a serve like that.

    Its been said now, Sexton will have to live with it, maybe Ioane regrets it, maybe not.

    From what I read, I not keen on what Ioane said (if it is true etc), but neither am I keen on Sexton writing about it in book.
    Bit of dickheads x 2 too me.

    @Bones

    As shown here, Just-a-shit-O'Gara is spouting off at Rieko (7 minute mark) about a minute after the call (5:45 minute mark)

    Seems strange for Rieko to be saying back ten after the whistle has been blown.

    To put it into context you would expect even someone like the Wests Tigers could have found a way to score a try if they had 37 consecutive tackles.
